In episode 166, we’re excited to welcome Leo Lin, Founder of Arkreen, a Web3-powered infrastructure network for global distributed renewable energy resources. We dive into the role of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) in achieving net zero, how Web3 can empower individual climate action and make renewable energy accessible to the masses, and much more.

‍

Key Takeaways

• Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) leverage blockchain and decentralization to implement physical networks, such as a renewable energy network or data storage network. True DePIN projects are permissionless and owned by the community.
• Token economies can be a key tool for engaging a global community in climate action by creating innovative new mechanisms to incentivize climate action on both the supply side and demand side. It can make investing in renewable energy more accessible to the average individual by fractionalizing projects that would traditionally only be accessible to high net worth individuals and companies.
• DePIN can be a great tool for balancing public goods and commercial sustainability. On the one hand, since decentralized infrastructure networks are owner by the community, they serve as a great primitive for building public goods projects. On the other hand, tokenomics can be leveraged to bring value into the ecosystem and build long-term commercial sustainability.
